Melon Yogurt Cake
Melons are large and heavy, but their flesh consists mainly of water, which means they're low in calories and fat. They also contain a lot of potassium, which stimulates the kidneys to dehydrate so that more toxins are excreted.
You can use other varitieties of melon in this cake, such as galia or honeydew.
